A new species of previously monotypic genus of flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini), Bonfilsus Scherer 1967, is described from the Dominican Republic. This is the first record of Bonfilsus from the island of Hispaniola. The new species is compared to the only known species of the genus [B. subpubenscens (Bechyne)] and its distinguishing features as well as other morphological characters are illustrated and described.

A New Species

The first record of the previous monotypic genus Tethytimea and the description of a new species from cryptic habitats of Gulf of Mexico are presented. Tethytimea carmelita sp. nov., is a red orange cushion shaped sponge (about 5 mm thick) with a tuberculate to granular surface. The spicular complement is formed by tylostyles (200–1120 µm length), smooth spheres (12.5–55 µm in diameter); megasters-spheroxyasters (12.5–90 µm in diameter); and micrasters in two categories: oxy-strongylasters (12.5–27.5 µm in diameter) and spherotylasters (2.5–25 µm in diameter). The new species differs from the only species known T. tylota (Hentschel, 1912) mainly by differences in the size and shape of spicules. T. tylota possesses tylostyles in two size categories; megasters include giant oxyspherasters up 250 µm and micrasters in a single category. Additionally, to the morphological characteristics, we integrated partial sequences of a large sub-unit ribosomal 28S rDNA gene region (D1–D2 domains), in order to establish the molecular taxonomic position of our new species (and genus). Tree topologies (Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference) were congruent in phylogenetic hypothesis, retrieving the Order Tethyida as monophyletic. In this clade, the family Timeidae was separated from the other families Tethyidae + Hemiastrellidae. Inside this latter group and according to the taxonomic hypothesis based on morphology, Tethytimea carmelita sp. nov. was included in Tethyidae clade, together with a sequence of Tethya sp. (AY626300), forming a sister group with representatives of genera Xenospongia and Thectitethya. Our new species constitutes the second valid known species for the genus Tethytimea and the first record of genus for the Atlantic Ocean.

A New Species

A new species of the family Anaxyelidae (Eosyntexis parva n. sp.) is described. This is the first record of the family from Lower Cretaceous Spanish amber. The specimen is mostly well preserved, except for dorsally. This makes it possible to identify several important details rarely or never observed in compression fossils. Eosyntexis spp. and the closely related genus Cretosyntexis are confined to the Eurasian Lower Cretaceous, whereas the extant monotypic genus Syntexis is restricted to western North America. The morphology of this new species suggests xylophagous habitus, and its relation with Syntexis libocedrii implies a possible relationship with burned wood, apparently a frequently available resource in northern Spanish forests of the Lower Cretaceous.

Abstract Brennanacarus annereauxi (Brennan and Yunker, 1969) was described from Venezuela parasitizing the greater spear-nosed bat. The monotypic genus Brennanacarus Goff, Yunker and Wheeler, 1987 is a replacement name for Nasicola Brennan and Yunker, 1969, which was preoccupied by Nasicola Yamaguti, 1968. Here, we redescribe the genus Brennanacarus and the type species B. annereauxi. Also, this is the first record of this species, as well as the second record of any chigger, for Uruguay.

The Relationship

Bimuria is a monotypic genus in Didymosphaeriaceae, typified by B. novae-zelandiae collected in terrestrial habitats from New Zealand soil. In our study, Bimuria omanensis, a novel species was isolated from unidentified decaying leaves in Oman. The phylogenetic placement of B. omanensis is resolved based on maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses of combined LSU, ITS and TEF1-α sequence data of Didymosphaeriaceae. The placement of Bimuria omanensis as a distinct species, is confirmed based on phylogeny. This is the first record of an asexual morph in Bimuria and first record of a Bimuria species from Oman. The relationship of this taxon with other phylogenetically closely related Didymosphaeriaceae species is shown.

An unusual new genus of Scenopinidae is described and figured from Namibia. Cyrtosathe kirkspriggsi gen. et sp. nov., represents the first record of a non-scenopinine window fly from subSaharan Africa. This monotypic genus does not fit well into the current classification of Scenopinidae and is likely an intermediate form between the subfamilies Proratinae and Scenopininae. The phylogenetic position of Cyrtosathe kirkspriggsi gen. et sp. nov. is discussed with respect to previous studies on Scenopinidae relationships and classification.
